Card #1 - Come on, Let's party

This and the following eight postings are cards made with really simple means. I just cut out pictures from magazines, newspapers and all that more or less stupid advertisments which tend to find its way to our home. I created one card of at least one of these pictures.

The theme for each card was chosen based on what popped in to my mind when I looked at each picture. All text is written by me. This is done in order to make the cards simple and fast to create and also to add a personal touch to every card. The card base is quite neutral since I knew that is would make it easier to just flip away in any direction I took. The cards are made for a swap where the thing was to make cards which are outside the box or to, if you perfer another expression, freestyle.


Yes, come on... let's party!

Card #2 - Congratulations

I don't know this guy, but he is screaming happy about someone who is in for a congratulation for a win...

Card #3 - You are hot

For some sweet Dear ONe who is bUring hoT... ;)

Card #4 - Coffee time?

DO you NOT want some coffee? For you know... coffee is the best thing to do in the evening... or during the night, in the morning, before lunch, for lunch, during afternoon and... ;)

Card #5 - Good luck

We all need some good luck now and then. For when those balls start to roll... we all know that the winner takes it all...

Card #6 - Thank you

Thanks. For what? Something that has to do with knowledge since there is an apple there? Or perhaps thanks for the apple pie that late saturday afternoon in october?

Card #7 - Shall we get together for some coffee?

Ballerina. Yummy indeed. This card is a card to send to someone to ask whether they are in for a get together for some coffee on a bloody sunday...

Yes, I have some difficulties with the red color since it almost always looks like blood... :)

Card #8 - Happy travel/vacation

This card is made with two circles of two things which usually are connected to travel and/or vacation. I added some color the text "Happy travel". Nothing more needs to be said about this card.

Card #9 - Call me

This is strange.
The card started out with that cute little telephone foot. I added newspaper, chalk and a hand made sun. But... why send someone a card who tells that person to call you? I don't know why. Is it a message to tell someone that you have changed your telephone number? Or... is it just a call for someone to call you and brighten up your dark days? Those days when you feel totally footloose and nead a kick *you know where*...
